Welcome to the internet.

Hey... I can take a joke. I laughed through the whole article. With that said, Memphis is a GREAT city that I would be proud to call home. Work opportunities caused me to come back home after college, but my wife and I love Memphis and could go back if the right opportunity presented itself. Memphians should be proud of their city and appreciate the humor posted above. Offensive? Probably. Funny. Yes.

That was hilarious.

eh...Just seemed like a bunch of gibberish.

I was offended but I'll get over it.

consistently

My favorite part was the obvious satire of confusing Roy Orbison with Elvis, which, although intended on purpose, could make certain people turn into a public spectacle as they try to correct the author.

Quote:University of Kentuckistan
The University of Kentuckistan was founded in 1911 after receiving a grant from the Andrew Carnegie foundation. However, most of the grant was squandered on vodka and whores, and as a result, U-K began instructing students not in classrooms, but in an outhouse. They also taught them to play basketball instead of studying. Located in Lexington, The city of Gold.

Among the notable alumnus of U-K are Alan Alda, Belgian prime minister and notorious lecher.

HAHA! Priceless!

I thought it was quite funny !!!! Satire

It's always good to see Admiral Benbow get a reference.

Why would anyone get offended?

There's some funny stuff in there.

"In the area of Germantown and Collierville are numerous white kids who act black. While "keeping it real" in the cars mommy and daddy bought them they rep their thuggin' hoods, until they're carjacked."


Gubment
Is currently run and operated by DINO Pharaoh W. W. Herenton, Ed.D., more commonly referred to as King Willie. The long lived Herenton has ruled Memphis under the personal appointment of his lord and savior Jesus Christ since the death of Ptolemy XV in 34 BC, who was run over by a bunch of drunk white people in a Cotton Carnival float shaped like an insect. King Willie's most recent act is the destruction of the Memphis City School system and attempting to spread his destruction to the surrounding Shelby County School systems by forcing the two systems to merge. He is also the father in at least four families and has many illegitimate children with assorted unnamed "individuals". He is a very educated man whose recent campaign slogan was "Shake them haters off". The King has made mention of late that his true passion is in the education of children, not running cities into the ground as he was divinely chosen to do so. He hopes to teach proper English to children in the Memphis City Schools when they offer him the job, which is his God given right.

So very true, and so very sad.

Political correctness has made them feel so guilty about being white, that they try and imitate thugs, with predictable results.

that political correctness teaching starts in the classroom at a very early age

IMHO, Hollywood and electronic media has overwhelmed the fundamental sense of what is right and wrong.

That shiz was funny as a mofo!

easily my favorite part

"Memphis leads the nation in streets and roads having multiple names. For example, in Midtown you can head north on Melrose and in less than two minutes, without making a turn, you have traveled on Kimbrough and McNeil Streets. The fact is that there are only eleven streets in Memphis but due to their multiple names, there appear to be over six hundred. This came about in the 1920's as a result of Mayor Presley getting federal funds for road building."

You don't happen to remember the "Next Generation" crowd that hung out in the empty parking lot beside the Wendy's, do you? The author might have been thinking about those guys.
